Medley: Future Legend / Diamonds Dogs Intro / Cracked Actor Songtext
von David Bowie

And in the death
As the last few corpses lay rotting on the slimy thoroughfare
The shutters lifted an inch in temperance building, high on Poacher′s Hill
And red mutant eyes gazed down on Hunger City
No more big wheels

Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats
And ten thousand peoploids split into small tribes
Coveting the highest of the sterile skyscrapers
Like packs of dogs assaulting the glass fronts of Love-me Avenue
Ripping and rewrapping mink and shiny silver fox, now legwarmers
Family badge of sapphire and cracked emerald
Any day now, the year of the diamond dogs

(This ain't rock and roll)
(This is genocide)

I′ve come on a few years from my Hollywood Highs
The best of the last, the cleanest star they ever had
I'm stiff on my legend, the films that I made
Forget that I'm 50 ′cause you just got paid


Crack, baby, crack, show me you′re real
Smack, baby, smack, is that all that you feel?
Suck, baby, suck, give me your head
Before you start professing that you're knocking me dead
Oh, stay
Please stay
Please stay

You caught yourself a trick down on Sunset and Vine
But since he pinned you, baby, you′re a porcupine
You sold me illusions for a sack of cheques
You've made a bad connection ′cause I just want your sex

Crack, baby, crack, show me you're real
Smack, baby, smack, is that all that you feel?
Suck, baby, suck, give me your head
Before you start professing that you′re knocking me dead
Oh, yeah

Ooh, stay for a day
Ooh, yeah
Don't you dare
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Woo!

Woo!
Oh, yeah
